Serious post here, what are your predictions? Do the US sign on for a subscription to Hitler or Hitler+? What makes you believe this?
My take: Harris eeks out a victory, based on the vibes I get. She may flip NC too. I think that second part because the overall trend of polling has had her slowly increasing on average there. AZ is flipping back to Trump this go around.
Second possibility I see is that the electoral college shenanigans the GOP is angling for in NE actually results in the first ever tie. Supreme court gives it to Trump even though he loses the popular vote. Libs say “ah well, never the less”.
Either way, I think there’s going to be hog riots in MI, PA, and NC if it flips.
I really think we will end up with Harris but only because Trump just isn’t funny enough this time. He’s lost touch tbh
He’s really not funny anymore. He also has no clue how to talk about policy in the general region of Palestine without doing like 8 tropes about the Jews and how much he did “for them.” And on abortion he’s been forced into this totally made up shit about “everybody hating Roe v Wade” and he solved the issue!..
Yea the people voting for him like the fact that he’s barely intelligible because the less coherent he is the more it pisses off the libs when they say they’re still boring for him.
That and elevating a demented embodiment of white privellage above a (at least on paper) reasonably competent black women is kinda their whole deal. Showing that mediocre white men are still at the top of the pyramid is very important to mediocre white people.
Like unless Trump wakes up and is literally transformed into a black female that starts talking about institutional racism he’s their guy. Hell he could start saying he’s a black women and his base would fucking love it, it would increase his support.
Democrats are acting way too confident, It’s gonna be 2016 all over again.
It’s gonna be Kamabla and it’s not even close.

The job of the USA president is to look good on TV. That’s literally the entire job. Or at least to not look like a complete fucking idiot. You can bomb a hospital like Obama did, you just have to look presidential while doing it. Kamabla is the perfect candidate because she puts a progressive face on a genocidal empire.

Americans yearn for brunch. They don’t care that the horrors will continue happening. They just don’t want to hear about the horrors. They think “if we elect adults in the room, then we no longer have to hear about all the horrible shit that our country is doing.”
-
People want to feel good about themselves. They want to feel like their country has a future. Electing the first woman president, who is also a POC, is a feel-good story. When USA does horrible things, it allows libs to say “This is not my fault, I voted for the black lady.” She is a part of an oppressed minority, therefore it’s physically impossible for her to be a genocidal oppressor who does the same shit as all presidents before her. Get ready for Woke Fascism™.
It’s gonna be down to the wire imo.
Kamala has lost steam and there’s such desperation from the voteshamers that I think most of her supporters have at least some degree of latent awareness that she isn’t capable of drawing in support outside of her base, either to the right of her or to the left.
Donald is low energy but almost all of his base is willing to hold their nose and vote for him, which drives the Blue MAGA crowd wild with envy. I really don’t look at that end of US politics much at all because it’s gross and I don’t have the stomach for it, plus it achieves nothing whereas there’s a chance I might be able to peel off the occasional progressive whereas conservatives are low yield per input so my take is that it’s a waste of time focusing on them. (Don’t get me wrong I’ll agitate anyone opportunistically, even a diehard Trump supporter, but I’m really not focusing my energy on honing my rhetoric and hooking in to their primary concerns because there are much easier targets out there.)
I think in it being such a close race it’s probably going to come down to one of those key states falling to one side or the other and who really knows which way the chips are going to fall in that situation?
If Trump wins I think he’ll lose the popular vote though.
If this happens, I’m going to blame the Dems for how they had the opportunity to abolish the electoral college, to make the presidential election a popular vote, and establishing ranked-choice voting to instead push through military aid and financial relief to support the genocide in Gaza as their top priority which means Joe Biden chose this and now we have to respect that choice and live with the consequences of it because Biden and Harris didn’t want to listen to the voter base.
Obama rigs the election
In Trump’s favour
Michelle Obama 2028
